据世界能源3月1日消息：美国能源情报署(EIA)周一表示，去年12月，美国石油需求升至冠状病毒大流行开始之前的最高水平，石油日产量接近2100万桶。
12月整体燃料需求同比增长10%，达到2,080万桶/天，为2019年8月以来的最高水平。产品供应是消费者需求的一个指标，因为它主要反映的是美国原油加工后用于消费和出口的燃料。
美国石油需求快速增长，但产量仍缓慢回升至纪录高位，这迫使能源公司在过去一年中从库存中撤出大量原油，并推动石油期货价格升至2014年以来的最高水平。
EIA在其《石油供应月度报告》中称，12月原油日产量下滑约20.6万桶，至1,157万桶。这比2020年2月大流行前的1283万桶/天产量低了约9%。
EIA上周发布的每周《石油状况报告》显示，作为纽约商品交易所(NYMEX)石油期货合约的交割点，俄克拉荷马州库欣中心的原油库存已降至2018年9月以来的最低水平。
与此同时，美国12月原油出口量升至345万桶/天。
EIA在其914个月的产量报告中称，12月美国南部48个州的天然气产量增加了1亿立方英尺/天，达到创纪录的1083亿立方英尺/天。
这是连续第二个月天然气产量创历史新高。此前的历史最高纪录是11月的1082亿立方英尺。
在主要的天然气生产州，得克萨斯州和宾夕法尼亚州的月度天然气产量分别增长0.6%和1.1%，达到创纪录的303亿立方英尺和220亿立方英尺。

U.S. December Oil Demand Hits Highest Since Before Pandemic -EIA
U.S. oil demand rose in December to its highest level since before the coronavirus pandemic began, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Monday, with product supplied nearing 21 million barrels per day (bpd).
Overall fuel demand was up 10% year-on-year in December at 20.8 million bpd, its highest since August 2019. Product supplied is a proxy for consumer demand since it mostly reflects fuels processed from U.S. crude oil for consumption and export.
The rapid increase in U.S. oil demand while output remains slow to return to record highs, has forced energy firms to pull massive amount of crude from storage over the past year and helped boost oil futures to their highest since 2014.
Crude oil output slipped by about 206,000 bpd to 11.57 million bpd in December, the EIA said in its Petroleum Supply Monthly report. That is about 9% below the 12.83 million bpd produced before the pandemic in February 2020.
Crude stockpiles at the Cushing storage hub in Oklahoma, the delivery point for the New York Mercantile Exchange's (NYMEX) oil futures contract, have dropped to their lowest since September 2018, according to EIA's weekly Petroleum Status Report last week. read more
U.S. crude exports, meanwhile, rose to 3.45 million bpd in December.
Monthly gross natural gas production in the U.S. Lower 48 states rose 0.1 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) to a record 108.3 bcfd in December, the EIA said in its monthly 914 production report.
That was the second month in a row that Lower 48 gross gas output hit a record high. The previous all-time high was 108.2 bcfd in November.
In top gas producing states, monthly output rose 0.6% in Texas to a record 30.3 bcfd and 1.1% in Pennsylvania to a record 22.0 bcfd.
